Not keeping NIL Promises: (Update: Debunked by Danny)
- Thread starter cyrock3
- Start date
I can confirm that this is the case from a very good source
@Greene Rice FIG Not sure what you're getting at here? We have monthly memberships and churn assumptions... plus one-time contributions. The collective manages those funds through an All Sports bucket that the executive committee oversees and sport-specific buckets administered by the programs (as Jon noted in this weekend's article). As for the future, we'd love to increase membership at both the individual recurring and corporate levels.
What I am getting it at is are there future obligations that make assumptions about future donations?
And this folks ^^^ is how you perpetuate a lie. What don't you get? They're fabricating a story hoping it catches on to harm Rutgers because they want Harper.

A word of advice, don't ever become a salesman or try to sell anything in your life. Because you fvcking suck at it.
LOL at anyone who believes the BS put up by other program's fans.
Recruiting for Rutgers isn't their goal .

The Internet and Social Media - Where Everyone is a “Journalist” 
It’s like this: a national media dude who doesn’t follow Rutgers closely sees Ndongo and Warren decommit. Not knowing much about the situation, they speculate, it’s lack of NIL. Local Indiana pseudo-fan reporter with an agenda hears that and turns it into the commentary that we’ve seen. Know your source.
This thread should be deleted there is no reason to have it on our board. At least change the title to call out the BS
Updated the title, but keeping your head in the sand is not helpful.
Who do you believe more? The people in the collective or some online yahoo from Indiana or Duke?
Of course I believe the collective more.
By saying we shouldn’t keep our heads buried in the sand - I’m saying we shouldn’t be letting these yahoos at other schools who do NIL deals with recruits set the tone for how recruits view us. It’s another avenue of negative recruiting that needs to be curbed.
I guess we beat Indiana in Rowing too

My only question/issue (if I’m incorrect please correct me) why is KTR trying to get deals with as many ru athletes as possible instead of focusing on those that move the needle.
I’d rather have kept Cam spencer than make sure a women’s crew team member gets a deal. (Obviously exaggerating here)
Poor Indiana.
They’ve convinced themselves they might have a shot at Dylan because RU isn’t going to be able to pay Ace and Dylan.
It’s going to be fun watching them have a mental breakdown

My assumption has always been that they felt the only way to not have the anti-sports Rutgers contingent (faculty, media, politicians, special interest groups, Rutgers 1000-types) completely attack NIL efforts from the start was to make sure women got some of the money right away.
It's the Julie Hermann-hiring philosophy applied to the distribution of severely limited funds. If I'm correct, I can't say I blame them.
Yes, but the thread and your first several posts screaming how much RU sucks at NIL in gargantuan font are simply giving these anti-RU yahoos a platform on this board.
It's a fair question, @RepeatedCrown6. First of all, let me assure you that having money available for equity in deals by sport / gender does not change the absolute value amount that a Cam Spencer type requires. It would not have changed the math. We believe that getting every sport involved is very important, however, the lion's share of money will go to FB & MBB as @RUJON laid out in his NJ.com quotes. That may be true of the amount of money, but we believe it's important that we continue to do deals with all sports.
Can you point out explicitly where I said RU sucks at NIL?
And where did I use gargantuan font?
You didn't explicitly say anything, but you pasted Twitter screen shots with huge fonts filled with crap from message boards saying RU sucks at NIL. Effectively the same thing.
This is the age old question about ADs and asset allocation.
AD claims they can't fire a failing football/basketball HC because of $$$ but then spends on other "non revenue" sports.
Same now with NIL.
Every $ going towards a non-revenue sport is one less $ going towards football/basketball.
Maybe if TOS didn't feel the need to post bs NIL threads, incessantly, these type of things wouldn't happen? I'm one of many currently NOT happy with what's been going on over there, for about a 6 weeks now, and can definitely see this being the basis for this dudes tweets.
Yeah, especially considering how Indiana fans are all over twitter repeating it. Even if it's false it's a bad look for the program.
I guess we beat Indiana in Rowing too
soundly
I thought the same thing.
Of course i like my money more than hating on Indiana!!!!
Small Rutgers NIL tidbit. Hearsay, but kind of surprising if true, from a writeup on B1G Football titled "Big Ten Recruiting Confidential: NIL, hardest-working coaches, impressive assistants" Behind a paywall, but this is all that is there. This is from a high school head football coach in Pennsylvania. :.
"Rutgers supposedly has a lot of NIL money, a ton. …"
"Rutgers supposedly has a lot of NIL money, a ton. …"
The also have Mark Cuban writing the checks and it’s the only reason why they are even in the conversation with some guys…. Indiana is a dump..

Hopefully any of the sensible posters still over there cancel their memberships and focus on this board. If they are already here great then why waste the time and money for BS? Save the money and donate to NIL.
I actually quit that board complete and added the money I save from it to my NIL contribution. Money better spent.

Im not sure if @snowboarder is supposed to be me but I have yet to make an NIL promise so it would be impossible for me to break one.
@snowboarder I'm pretty sure he meant @wkbrdr3448.
TOS is just repeating what Jon, Pike and Schiano are saying.
If you don’t see what’s been going on over there the last 6 to 8 week, I don’t know what to tell you, but you’re welcome to your own opinion.
Care to share? I never visit and if they're trying to actively harm RU we can't have it.
It’s not as bad as he’s insinuating. He’s just being very passive aggressive not sure why.
Nothing going on over there. They are just reporting what Jon, Pike, and Schiano are telling them about NIL. Which is we need to step it up. They are also saying Hobbs needs to do more. Which I think everything agrees with.
